What we have to complete over the course of this autumn is our nitrates action programme review, which applies to all farmers. That is basically looking at and assessing what steps we take and what amendments we make to our own national nitrates action programme, separate to the derogation as such, in regard to improving water quality. That is something I will be engaging on closely with the water quality working group that I have put together with regard to how we do that, and we will also be consulting the wider public and the farm stakeholders before we finalise it.
